I don't seem to have it now. No, GCL is GNU Common Lisp. It is unrelated to gcc. You don't need to download anything. Go to the gcc port's directory and, as root, type "make install". That will build gcc and everything it depends on. > Anyway, should I pkg_delete gcc 2.7.2.1 to prevent a big mess? > And how about the existing C++ library? IIRC, gcc 2.7.2.1 is part of FreeBSD 2.2.5, not a separate port. That means that it is installed under /usr, not /usr/local, so the two can coexist peacefully. Note that you cannot rebuild FreeBSD with 2.8.1 at this time.
